Love love LOVE my earrings from @cvkvlv.bsky.social 🤍 can’t wait to wear them!

Let it be known that whoever buys the property will have SEVERE financial consequences. Spread the word. They’ve tried to do this with federal lands before.

I have a friend who needs a stem cell transplant pretty urgently. The donor has to be of Asian descent and under 40 living in the U.S. I am praying that we can find the right match. If that's you or someone you know, please reach out to me. Thanks in advance.

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024. More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

Scapegoating immigrant communities will never make anyone safer.

Oh so this was the red wave y’all were talking about

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

Ramadan Mubarak! May this blessed month bring divine blessings to all who celebrate. Wishing you a time filled with hope, happiness, and peace.

There’s an economic blackout happening tomorrow, 2/28! So what does that mean?

" the sign on the door stating, “Free to anyone with a disability, homeless, or simply cannot afford it.”

Never Whistle at Night has taken me out of a reading slump I didn’t know I was in. Can’t recommend enough! @shanehawk.com @tvayyyy.bsky.social

President Trump is now threatening to punish immigrants as young as 14 years old with criminal penalties, including jail time, if they fail to sign up for a government registry. Our loved ones and neighbors deserve dignity and an earned path to citizenship — not the threat of a police state.

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

The folks at @wired.com are doing amazing journalism, consistently breaking stories about the new administration. If you're not subscribed, go subscribe. They have the sources and they're providing the coverage that others are frankly afraid to. They need your support.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

Frozen river photo was worth braving this weather in Chicago.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

❗️Illinois friends, if you have a Democratic Representative, send a message telling them to vote NO on any funding bills, not trade their vote for concessions by the Republicans, & force the Republicans to pass their own funding bill. Use our easy action here: indivisiblechicago.com/no-votes-for...

@quigley.house.gov Rep. Quigley, I’m a constituent of yours in Chicago. I’m urging you to please vote “NO” on the “No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act.” This bill would directly affect our city for taking a stand against the current administration’s harmful mass deportation tactics. Thank you. 🙏

Congress is considering a bill that would hold critical federal funds hostage unless states comply with Trump's agenda. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this bill by texting SANCTUARY to 82623.
